Questions from Steel Cross
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church of All Saints: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself isn’t where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we will check the access.
What’s the nearest station to Steel Cross for guests?
Guests can use Crowborough station, about 1.2 miles south of Steel Cross.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Our truck and trailer service normally suits events of around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Send us your numbers and we’ll advise.
Do you do a drinks bar?
You can add our drinks bar, with margaritas, Mexican beer, aguas frescas and soft drinks. We’ll talk licensing through with you before the day.
What food and drinks do you offer?
Every menu is agreed with you. Fillings could include chicken tinga, pork carnitas, al pastor-style pork and vegan options like black beans. Our sample menu has more ideas.
Can you serve in the rain?
The truck or trailer can serve in the rain, but guests need somewhere covered to eat and drink, such as a marquee, gazebo or nearby building.
How long do you serve for?
We get there well before service to set up. The length of service is agreed when you book, along with pack-down.
How does your Mexican catering work?
Our food truck or trailer is a mobile kitchen. We set up at your venue, serve hot food to order and pack down afterwards.
Mexican catering in Steel Cross, from our food truck or trailer
We bring our truck or trailer to events in and around Steel Cross: gardens, fields, yards and venues with hardstanding, as long as there’s safe access. We serve burritos, burrito bowls and fresh salsas and guacamole, and it is a good fit for fundraisers and school events and leaving parties.
Somewhere as small as Steel Cross, a garden or field is often the venue. Tell us about narrow lanes, gates and long drives and we’ll plan for them, and soft ground after rain is worth mentioning. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, and we give allergen information for every dish.

Should I do it myself?
Plenty of people try a DIY taco night at home. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather be with your guests, we will do the serving.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone still has to mix, pour and keep an eye on it all evening. Our margarita bar guide has tips.
Popular choices
Quesadillas
A quesadilla is an easy favourite.
Tacos
Street tacos are small, quick and full of flavour. We serve them with salsas and toppings, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.

Catering for every guest
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Send allergy details to us in writing
- Flag anyone with coeliac disease
- Mention any other caterers or courses
- Include at least one vegan filling
If you’ve chosen a taco bar, the fillings, salsas and toppings go out on a serving table, and guests build their own.
Extra salsas and toppings can widen the choice.
Planning the serving area
We will agree the spot with you before the day. It needs to meet a few simple requirements:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A spot away from buildings, windows and neighbours
- A spot for a taco-bar serving table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we’ll advise before you book.
